Dean Cain Sets Sights on Becoming ICE Agent in Recruitment Push
Former Superman Actor Dean Cain Joins the USCIS's Efforts Amid Controversial Deportation Policies.
In a surprising announcement, Dean Cain, who famously portrayed Superman in the 1990s series "Lois & Clark: The New Adventures of Superman," revealed his aspirations to join the US Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agency. In a recent interview, Cain mentioned that he would be "sworn in as an ICE agent ASAP." This decision aligns with ICE's intensified efforts to bolster its ranks amid a drive to increase their personnel for enhanced immigration enforcement.
Cain, already serving as a sworn law enforcement officer, recorded a video urging others to consider joining ICE, especially in light of the agency's initiative to recruit 10,000 new personnel amid the Trump administration's controversial deportation strategy. The former actor expressed his commitment to contributing to national security by stating, "People have to step up. I'm stepping up... we'll help protect this country."
The recruitment campaign, launched by ICE, highlights its aim to fill positions such as deportation officers, attorneys, and investigators, coinciding with President Trump's pledge to accelerate deportation rates. The administration reportedly aims to achieve one million deportations annually. As part of the recruitment push, ICE is offering incentives such as bonuses up to $50,000 and student loan assistance to attract candidates to this high-stakes role.
As of this week, ICE received over 80,000 applications for the roles despite criticisms surrounding the agency's practices. The agency currently operates with 20,000 personnel across 400 offices nationwide. With added recruitment incentives and a lack of age limits for applicants, the agency is working diligently to meet its ambitious recruitment goals in a climate of heightened scrutiny and civil unrest regarding immigration policies.
Dean Cain's unexpected transition from Hollywood to law enforcement underscores the significant push by ICE to enhance its ranks—an initiative steeped in both support and controversy within the current political landscape.
